World Cup 2010: Dunga expects Brazil improvement

Brazil manager Dunga has demanded a significant improvement from his team, despite a 3-0 victory over Chile.

The five-time world champions booked a quarter-final slot against the Netherlands courtesy of goals from Juan, Luis Fabiano and Robinho.

"We have to improve in all sectors of our play," said Dunga.

"Chile played exceptionally well with a lot of possession and they passed very well but Brazil were able to maintain a balanced control."

Brazil have conceded only two goals in the tournament and once again produced a solid display in defence against a Chile side bursting with attacking flair and intent at Ellis Park in Johannesburg.

to round Chile goalkeeper

and sidefoot into an empty net.

But while the Real Madrid star showed glimpses of his creativity, he struggled to make a significant impact in the match, with Dunga replacing the 28-year-old in the 81st minute with

Dunga also has disciplinary concerns over Kaka, who collected his third yellow card of the tournament for a foul on Chile striker Humberto Suazo in the first half.

"It is a problem - I don't want Kaka to be out suspended," added Dunga. "It looks as though the technical players are punished and those who commit fouls aren't always.

"This started happening in the group phase and we are going to talk about this with Kaka. It is a concern for him but we don't want to get bogged down with the issue."
